Salvador Dalí — Visions of Chicago Suite
Salvador Dalí

Visions of Chicago Suite

Created in collaboration with Merrill Chase Publishing Association of Chicago, this rare suite represents some of Salvador Dalí's most sought-after graphic works, distinguished by their exceptional provenance as *bon à tirer* impressions — the master approval proofs used to set the standard for the entire edition. Each work bears Dalí's signature and annotations in red ballpoint pen, alongside pencil inscriptions connecting them to the prestigious Denise Rigal Collection. Accompanied by individual certificates from Nicholas Descharnes, the renowned Dalí authority, these works carry an unimpeachable authentication pedigree that elevates them beyond the standard edition of 100 numbered impressions.

Medium
all signed, annotated `bon à tirer' and `premiere épreuve pour l'approbation du Maitre Dalí' in red ballpoint pen (the 'good to print' impressions aside from the edition of 100, 50 in Roman numerals and various artist's proofs), published by Merrill Chase Publishing Association, Chicago, each inscribed `Epreuve en BAT faisant partie de notre Collection Denise Rigal' in pencil on the reverse, with accompanying individual certificates from Nicholas Descharnes, all unframed.
